in need of advice about teen pregnancy.

im 17 will be 18 in feb my boyfriend will be 19 in may. he told me he wants us to have a baby. i love him but everytime i try to ask my mom for advice she tells me im a disappointment. i want a baby too but i dont know if we should wait a little longer or go ahead and try to have a baby. i know we are young and we have a long time to do this but i really need some helpful advice about being a mom and teen pregnancy etc.

I&#39;m not a teen mom but I would say to wait so would any adult who has ever had a baby. It&#39;s really hard. Even if you have good jobs and family support it&#39;s really hard. I can&#39;t actually imagine doing it without these things. And not that its very scientific but have you even watch teen mom or 16 and pregnant. I think 100% of the boyfreinds end up leaving and then mom has to parent all by herself. It sounds like hell to me. Finish school, get a good job, save up some money, and then get pregnant. It will be 100% easier that way.

Hi!
Whatever you decide to do, make sure you are really thinking about what&#39;s right for YOU. As girls, I think we can often feel the need to &quot;please&quot; our men and sometimes can sacrifice our wellbeing and desires so that we do not disappoint them. Let&#39;s say you have a baby, in a couple years, are going to look back and wish you would have waited? Will you be bitter at you bf because he is the REASON you chose to have a baby? Having a baby is HARD and its important to KNOW that you KNOW that its the right time.
Blessings to you!
